Anyone coming from Auckland to Sth Island with an empty van or trailer?

I need the new old bike brought down but too tight at the mo to pay the $450 for motorcycle transporters.

Anyone able to help?

Will pay it's way & throw in some choccy crackles as well.

Yours in tightness

awe come on you cant put up a post like that without spilling the beans - whats the new old bike?

**Eddieb** · 30th May 2010, 20:22

So are you going to stop the speculation......?

If anyone can get it to Wellington they can drop it at my place while the remainder of the journey is organised.

I purchased a 1991 BMW R80GS off Trademe last monday morning. Eddie very kindly sent a PM which I received 7:30 AM monday morning.
7:30 :15 I looked at the ad,
7:30:16 saw 'buy now $2400'
7:30:17 hit the button then after the congrats page came up went and looked at the pics of the bike I'd just bought.
7:30:19 told my wife excitedly I'd bought a bike & it only cost $2400.00
7:30:20 I got that look...

Any way there are always vans& trucks coming down so thought I'd spread the web& see if anyone knows anyone that's comingdown. I have also posted on the "backload" website for trucks looking to fill their loads.

I'll wait a couple of days & if noword I'll get it sent down by mc trans.

Once again thanks Eddie for that.

Classic awesome bikes Padmei,enjoy! -I had a beautiful 1986 R80GS Paris Dakar

...managed to make an impressively good job at totally destroying her.....

**Padmei** · 31st May 2010, 07:52

Cheers guys. I am looking forward to getting it & doing a few things to it- hopefully not destroying it tho...

why arent you riding it down? - is it rooted?

**_Shrek_** · 31st May 2010, 08:06

good score Padmei
have a mate that works for trucking company cost about $250 Auck - ChCh & if you wont it off at Welly or Pic unloading would need to be aranged (not sure if thats you or them)
bike would need to be on a pallet so loaded/unloaded by fork, I've pm'd his cell if it's any good to ya

**Squiggles** · 31st May 2010, 09:12

I could store in Auckland if needed =\

**Crisis management** · 31st May 2010, 10:55

If you need it picked up / stored / delivered to trucking company let me know....... don't be worried , I have trailer and tiedowns so I wouldn't have to damage my reputation riding it.

**javahead** · 31st May 2010, 18:19

On Mon 7 Jun I'm going from almost Auckland to almost the South Island, if it's any help. I'll be returning from Maramarua to Wellington with room for a small GS in the van.
If anyone is riding the cross-country on Monday and could bring the beemer, I could take it from there.

**Padmei** · 31st May 2010, 19:42

SOunds great javahead. Thanks for all the offers for help people.

It may become a Kiwibiker relay.

The only prob with it is it has no WOF or REgo, insurance & since it hasn't been used much I want to get it home, do an oilchange & clean it up etc before riding it.
